context_page_description: Taumarunui railway station in Taumarunui, New Zealand was the main railway station in Taumarunui. Formerly it was an important intermediate stop with a refreshment room on the North Island Main Trunk line; the subject of a ballad by Peter Cape.
  The NIMT was opened to through Auckland to Wellington trains from 9 November 1908, with the first NIMT express trains from 14 February 1909. Trains also ran to Stratford from 1933.
  The building was opened on 1 December 1903, including cattle-yard, engine-shed, and railway workers' cottages, and closed on 25 June 2012 when the passenger stop was dropped from the Northern Explorer's schedule, except for pre-booked groups of 10+.
  As shown in the table and graph below, passengers increased rapidly, reaching a peak in 1923.
  Since 2016 the sidings to the north of the station have stabled up to 110 former Auckland trains, displaced by electrification.
